[@AirbenderHawk]

“HELL YES!!” Hearing the original MK movie actor’s voices just brought me back memories of the 1995 movie, also, it references Carl Weathers doing Jax in MKX. Christopher Lambert is well casted as Raiden back in 1995, I’m so glad to hear the OG trio’s cast today, it made me want to watch the movie again.

[@simon-peterwilliamson2412]

His voice still works kinda. It sounds like someone who is millions of year old. They shouldve bumped up his volume tho. Yikes

[@youraveragejoe2]

Age plus smoking does that to you

[@Aivottaja]

I felt the same way about Tagawa. There's nothing wrong with his delivery - he's still the smooth affably evil Shang Tsung - but it's way too low for the environment. If not for subtitles, I couldn't make out what he's saying.

@@hiimsaulcaveman Raiden and Sub-Zero appeared in Injustice 2, a game made by the same team as the Mortal Kombat series.
